This NEA Jazz Masters Program is sponsored locally by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, the Contemporary Arts Center, and NOCCA. Mr. Hampton will discuss "The World of Trombones," and the place of the trombone in today's jazz and pop music palette.
Recorded selections from Mr. Hampton and other trombonists will be played throughout the show.
